Make Jingle Bell Earrings

Hello all. I've been making things to include in Bean's advent calendar - not just chocolate or activities, but small items I know she would appreciate.

Here I am sharing how to make Jingle Bell earrings:STEP 1: What you need for EACH earring (so all this times 2):

1) Chain. From the chain cut: one piece with 3 LINKS, one piece with 5 LINKS, and one piece with 7 LINKS. Yes, you will cut off and throw away links as necessary.2) 4 jump rings - I'm using 4mm, but you can always use larger ones3) 3 small bells - I'm using 6mm bells (found at Hobby Lobby)4) Fish hook ear wire

STEP 2:

1) Open jump ring (sideways method is best)2) slip on bell3) slip on end of first chain4) Close jump ringOne jump ring should now have bell and links. Do this with each bell and links. You have now used 3 bells, 3 lengths of chain, 3 jump rings.

STEP 3:

1) Open the 4th and final jump ring2) Slip on the 3 jump rings with chains and bells attached3) Slip on ear wire4) Close jump ring. The ring is small and I suggest using two sets of pliers for each step, so be patient when closing the final jump ring with all the other components on it.

Oh i am sure Bean loved these.. and thank you for the tutorial on how to make them.. definitely i am putting on my list to try for next year... Merry Christmas Lola... and thank you for always taking the time to leave me a comment... you always bring a smile to my face.
